Product Features
Technical Overview
The TI-F10SC delivers Fast Ethernet performance with 100Base-FX fiber output and 10/100Base-T copper input. It features one RJ-45 port for copper connectivity and one SC port for fiber optic connections, supporting multi-mode fiber with core/cladding specifications of 62.5/125 µm or 50/125 µm. The converter operates at a wavelength of 1310 nm and achieves a maximum distance of 2 km (1.24 miles).
Power is supplied via a removable terminal block accepting 12-60V DC input, with overload current protection for stability. The device includes 6kV surge protection on the RJ-45 port to guard against electrical transients. No management port is provided, making it a plug-and-play unit for simple conversion tasks.

Deployment / Use Cases
This fiber converter is ideal for extending network reach in industrial and commercial settings where copper cabling falls short. It bridges the gap between copper-based network equipment and fiber optic backbones, enabling longer runs and noise immunity.
Common applications include connecting Ethernet devices in manufacturing plants to central switches over fiber, linking buildings across campuses, or integrating legacy copper systems with modern fiber infrastructure. The hardened design makes it suitable for outdoor enclosures, traffic control systems, and utility networks where environmental resilience is critical.
Industrial Network Extension
Extend Fast Ethernet connections up to 2 km in factories or warehouses using multi-mode fiber, overcoming copper distance limitations and electrical interference.
Building-to-Building Links
Connect separate buildings over fiber for secure, high-speed data transfer, ideal for campuses, retail chains, or remote offices.
Physical Profile
The converter measures 3" (76.20 mm) in height, 5" (127 mm) in width, and 10" (254 mm) in depth, with a weight of approximately 1.49 lb (673.58 g). Its compact form factor fits easily into industrial enclosures or mounted panels. The IP40-rated housing provides basic protection against solid objects larger than 1 mm, ensuring durability in dusty or indoor industrial environments.

FAQ
What does this fiber converter do?
The TRENDnet TI-F10SC converts 100Base-T Ethernet signals from copper cabling to 100Base-FX fiber optic signals. It allows you to extend network connections up to 2 kilometers using multi-mode fiber, bridging copper and fiber network segments in industrial or commercial settings.
What type of fiber and connectors does it support?
This converter supports multi-mode fiber optic cable with core/cladding specifications of 62.5/125 µm or 50/125 µm. It uses an SC connector for the fiber port and operates at a 1310 nm wavelength. The RJ-45 port handles copper Ethernet connections.
How is the converter powered?
The TI-F10SC requires a 12-60V DC power input via a removable terminal block. It includes overload current protection for stable operation. Note that a power supply is sold separately (model TI-M6024), so you may need to purchase it separately for deployment.
What mounting options are available?
The converter supports both DIN-rail and wall mounting. The package includes a DIN-rail / wall mount kit, allowing flexible installation in control panels, racks, or on walls without additional hardware. This makes it suitable for industrial enclosures or direct surface mounting.
What environmental protections does it offer?
With an IP40-rated housing, the converter resists solid objects larger than 1 mm, suitable for dusty indoor industrial areas. It operates in temperatures from -40° to 75°C (-40° to 167°F) and includes 6kV surge protection on the RJ-45 port to guard against electrical transients.
Is this converter compliant with government regulations?
Yes, the TI-F10SC is TAA compliant, meeting U.S. and Canadian government procurement requirements. It is also NDAA compliant, ensuring it can be used in federal deployments where these regulations apply.
